About this episode
Humans have done experiments on animals for thousands of years — but animal testing has always been controversial because of the concerns for animal welfare. Recently, there have been more and more efforts to find alternatives to lab animals.
So how is this quest going? What's on the horizon – and will we ever get rid of lab animals completely?
